CAMBRIDGE, MA – This past month, VES concentrator Lucy D. Cho ’19 turned in a mayonnaise sculpture as her final project for VES 132R that was deemed absolutely meaningless by every single person who viewed it.

Cho conceived of her magnum opus in a local deli. She explained, “When you say, ‘Yes, I would like mayonnaise on that Black Forest ham footlong’ enough times, you really start to grasp the transgressive possibilities of this gelatinous medium."

CAMBRIDGE, MA — A new Harvard initiative will encourage professors and undergraduates to bond by half-assing the University's online Title IX training together.

Provost Alan M. Garber ’76 and Executive Vice President Katie N. Lapp announced the initiative on Thursday, shortly after informing faculty members that they will be required to complete Harvard's online sexual and gender-based harassment training in the fall.

CAMBRIDGE, MA — Area percussion instrument Lowell Bell has not peeped a sound in almost a year. After yet another night spent alone, silent on her perch above Mount Auburn Street, Bell has confessed that she just wants to get banged.

"At this point, I'd be game for a one-night stand with anyone ap-pealing enough," said Bell. "A massive dong would be nice."

CAMBRIDGE, MA — Reports surfaced on Wednesday that Jessica E. Serrano '18, your maddeningly genuine acquaintance, not only remembered your birthday but also purchased a small gift to demonstrate her affection. That bitch. Finding something to send back to her so that you don't seem like a total dick is going to be such a headache.

THE DINING HALLS — In a clear bid for relevance, Harvard University Dining Services announced on Friday the addition of a new entree item, Millennial Pink Spice Chicken. Building on the popularity of Red Spice Chicken, HUDS will roll out the dish for lunches next semester.

"The internet told us that millennial pink is what the kids are into these days," said one HUDS chef. "When we find something that students seem to like, we take it and run as far as we can with it. That's why we started community night when that NBC show hit it big."

In what has been heralded as exemplary maintenance of an interpersonal relationship, area friend Veronica S. Ware '19 recently realized that you, her best friend and roommate, are also experiencing exams period right now.

This moment, in which Ware dipped her toe into the realms of “compassion” and “empathy," arrived after you walked into the room at 2:34 a.m. with your backpack on a Saturday night. Ware asked what you had been up to, and you replied, "Working."

CAMBRIDGE, MA — On Tuesday, Katherine E. Paisley ’18, who will be working for McKinsey & Company after graduation, announced over the Eliot House email list that she is selling her soul as part of her senior sale.

Paisley detailed the condition of the soul in a handy, 18-page PDF that she attached to the email: “Originally a small, shrank in the consulting recruitment process, now fits like an XXS. Gently used. Useful for some Ethical Reasoning courses.”

She added, "$7 OBO." No juniors have responded yet, as most would need to get rid of it come fall.

CAMBRIDGE, MA — Area hero Alex E. Wilkins '20 has accomplished a remarkable feat: The Government concentrator managed to get through all of reading week without reading a single thing.

“There were a few times I came close to reading words,” said Wilkins, a legend in our midst. “On Wednesday, I absentmindedly picked up my Ec textbook. But my body reacted to the touch of an academic resource by immediately puking, alerting me to my mistake. It took me a good four episodes of The Office to calm down."

CANADAY BASEMENT — In a disheartening setback for student life at Harvard College, Canaday G proctor Noah R. Wellings confirmed that zero freshmen showed up to his Wednesday night study break, despite the fact that it was based entirely around recreational cocaine use.

On a grade-obsessed campus, Harvard's Economics department is taking a bold stance: The department announced today that it is proud of all of the generous curves its courses provide. You go, girl!

"It's a sad fact that most media just don't talk positively about classes with big curves," said a department spokesperson. "I can't remember the last time I saw a Q guide review that empowered classes just happen to be a little more inflated."
